Section 1706. Savings provisions

    (a) Termination of national emergencies pursuant to National
      Emergencies Act
      (1) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section,
    notwithstanding the termination pursuant to the National
    Emergencies Act [50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.] of a national emergency
    declared for purposes of this chapter, any authorities granted by
    this chapter, which are exercised on the date of such termination
    on the basis of such national emergency to prohibit transactions
    involving property in which a foreign country or national thereof
    has any interest, may continue to be so exercised to prohibit
    transactions involving that property if the President determines
    that the continuation of such prohibition with respect to that
    property is necessary on account of claims involving such country
    or its nationals.
      (2) Notwithstanding the termination of the authorities described
    in section 101(b) of this Act, any such authorities, which are
    exercised with respect to a country on the date of such termination
    to prohibit transactions involving any property in which such
    country or any national thereof has any interest, may continue to
    be exercised to prohibit transactions involving that property if
    the President determines that the continuation of such prohibition
    with respect to that property is necessary on account of claims
    involving such country or its nationals.
    (b) Congressional termination of national emergencies by concurrent
      resolution
      The authorities described in subsection (a)(1) of this section
    may not continue to be exercised under this section if the national
    emergency is terminated by the Congress by concurrent resolution
    pursuant to section 202 of the National Emergencies Act [50 U.S.C.
    1622] and if the Congress specifies in such concurrent resolution
    that such authorities may not continue to be exercised under this
    section.
    (c) Supplemental savings provisions; supersedure of inconsistent
      provisions
      (1) The provisions of this section are supplemental to the
    savings provisions of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of section
    101(a) [50 U.S.C. 1601(a)(1), (2), (3)] and of paragraphs (A), (B),
    and (C) of section 202(a) [50 U.S.C. 1622(a)(A), (B), and (C)] of
    the National Emergencies Act.
      (2) The provisions of this section supersede the termination
    provisions of section 101(a) [50 U.S.C. 1601(a)] and of title II
    [50 U.S.C. 1621 et seq.] of the National Emergencies Act to the
    extent that the provisions of this section are inconsistent with
    these provisions.
    (d) Periodic reports to Congress
      If the President uses the authority of this section to continue
    prohibitions on transactions involving foreign property interests,
    he shall report to the Congress every six months on the use of such
    authority.
